Just finished this "Merlin" breaker for John in Coos Bay. It has a "Merlin" style
integrated core & handle of a beautiful piece of 1/4 sawn rose colored purple heart and a forearm/butt sleeve of African Olive. The joint and butt cap are Juma. The shaft is 14mm Pro taper with a one piece ferrule/tip of phenolic.
This is a serious heavy hitter and weighs in the 22 1/2 ounce range. The
picture does not do this piece of PH justice--it just glows from within and I
was lucky enough to acquire enough planks to make about 20 cues from them.
